# Mobile Graffiti Canvases Artist Never2501 Paints Zebra-Like Wasps Onto the Back of a Truck By Jason Soy | Published 2012-07-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/never2501 References: [juxtapoz](http://www.juxtapoz.com/Street-Art/never2501-truck-in-paris) & [streetartnews.net](http://www.streetartnews.net/2012/07/never2501-new-street-piece-in-paris.html) To a [graffiti artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti), anything in public is a canvas, and that point is best illustrated by Never2501’s latest work. The talented Italian [street artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics) recently adorned the [side of a truck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Tattoo-Inspired-Land-Rover) with this spectacular piece featuring wasps, birds and more formed with stripes. The finished masterpiece is evocative of images seen in optical illusion books and zebra skin, ensuring the humble truck won’t be ignore whenever it’s driving or stationary. Never2501 painted the piece on the streets of Paris for the ParisFreeWalls project. It’s considered his first moving piece, though his signature style is ever-present. The red sun accent Never2501 included in the finished product adds the perfect amount of contrast to make viewers truly appreciate his intricate fantasy illustration. You can expect to see more from Never2501 in the near future. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mobile Graffiti Art:** Opportunity for artists to bring their work to new and unexpected locations through mobile canvases. - **Optical Illusion Art:** The use of intricate patterns and optical illusions in art to create visually captivating and dynamic pieces. - **Street Art Projects:** Increasing popularity of street art initiatives and projects that transform urban spaces into artistic canvases. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** Innovative ways to incorporate art into transportation vehicles, opening up new marketing and branding opportunities. - **Art and Design:** Exploring new possibilities for artists to push boundaries through unconventional art mediums and unconventional locations. - **Urban Development:** Using street art as a tool for revitalizing urban areas and engaging communities in creative expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Graffiti NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffiti-wall-collection.md) - [Painting-Inspired Artful Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-art-car.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Whiskey-Themed Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upfest.md) - [Generative Art-Wrapped Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaoru-tanaka.md) - [Drone-Assisted Landscape Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katsu-1.md) - [Ultra-Colorful Table Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/never-stop-moving.md) - [Artistically Rendered One-Of-A-Kind Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romero-britto.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md)
